🇺🇸: These photos are taken back in 2019-2021, while Albania was going through the covid pandemic. At the beginning there was no panic from us while we heard the news of death tolls rising in Italy and neighboring countries. But after a while the pandemic hit us too and the hospitals were full and people close to us were losing their lives and we didn’t know which treatment was good and which one wasn’t. There was a lot of fear throughout that whole period but thankfully after a while things went back to normal. This is what I was trying to capture through my photos during that time. The feeling of isolation, of social distancing and the general fear and sadness of people who might have lost someone or feared of losing someone. 🇦🇱: Keto foto jane shkrepur rreth fund 2019 dhe deri me 2021, teksa po kalonim pandemine e Covid-19. Ne fillim nuk kishte panik nga ana jone por teksa virusi sa erdhi e u afrua me shume tek komshijnte tane, frika sa vinte e shtohej. Me pas kur na goditi, spitalet u mbushen plot, njerez afer nesh po humbnin jeten, dhe nuk dinim cili mjekim ishte mire ose jo pasi kishte shume zgjedhje ne ate kohe dhe ishte nje gjendje konfuzioni dhe paniku e miksuar bashke. Por koha kaloi dhe fatmiresisht gjerat tashme jane kthyer ne normalitet. Me ane te keture fotografive gjat kesaj periudhe jam perpjekur te kap ate cfare “ndihej ne ajer”; ndjesia e izolimit, distancimi social apo njerezit e trishtiar apo frustruar ne rruge nga cdo gje qe po ndodhte.
